I posted this in the main thread too, but I wanted to be sure everyone saw it.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to check back in to make sure everyone got their stuff. Things have been a little crazy at my house the last few weeks. Our one remaining working car has been in the shop twice and we've all been sick at least once.

On Saturday morning my dog was hit by a car and died shortly after at the ER vet. I haven't even been able to send out Shotgun Bettie's stuff. I'm starting to feel a little better now, but this has hit me pretty hard and I find even the simplest things (like typing this message) to be pretty hard.

My dog was like another child to me in a way and I just miss her.

Here's a pic of my pretty puppy.

Again, I'm sorry for the first swap I organized to end up so disorganized. Thanks for your patience everyone.

Hi all! Well, today is the last day to send so try to get me and your swapping partner a DC# soon if you haven't already. Shotgun Bettie- thanks so much for starting a gallery- I have been so busy with my taxes this year, I haven't had a chance.

I got my stuff from Lamissa today and wow! I am amazed. I can't wait to post pics- I will as soon as I can.

I will have everyone's info out later today. I have decided to move the mailing deadline to 4/13/05. (of course you can still mail early if you want). I just think considering the nature of the swap it might be a little more time consuming than most to get started.

I was just organizing a swap of my own, and found that puddinwuddin (who organized this swap) is on the suspended traders list for flaking on not one, not two, but three different swaps!

Meanwhile, she was supposed to send to yogirly87 for this swap. I for one am going to pm yogirly for her address and send her a little something. It would be great if a few other people could pitch in and send something. (If you're like me, you probably have materials left over from the stuff you made and/or ideas you didn't get to do).

Thanks everyone who made this a super fun swap. Let's make sure yogirly87 gets to feel the same way.
